Stand with Daylin in demanding Corbett appoint a head of Environmental Protection who understands...

I stand with Senator Daylin Leach, and I'm demanding that Tom Corbett only nominate a Department of Environmental Protection head who understands that we must protect our environment.

Why is this important?

E. Christopher Abruzzo, Tom Corbett's current nominee for Secretary of Department of Environmental Protection, said the following at the hearing on his appointment:

"I have not read any scientific studies that would lead me to conclude that there are adverse impacts to human beings or to animals or to plant life at this small level of climate change."

Daylin Leach was the ONLY State Senator to oppose his nomination. While it is absolutely galling that Corbett would have the audacity to nominate someone for the post of protecting our environment who hasn't read anything, ANYTHING, about the human impact on climate change, it's not unexpected.

The only way that we'll change this is by demanding that Corbett nominate someone whose understanding and beliefs about environmental science are in line with the mainstream scientific thinking.
